general problems of the 2018 Honda Odyssey - part 2

After rain, the next day, I get error tailgate problem on my dashboard. I can no longer open it using my remote or from the front panel of my van. I saw many complaints of similar issue out there. This should have been a recall due to manufacture failure.

Power tail gate doesnt work. Water got into the car and leaked onto the power tail gate control circuit causing it to no longer work.

The tailgate module has been fixed three times by Honda, along with the tailgate being resealed by Honda, however, the car continues to leak water through a seal in the drivers side upper rarea. The electrical components and fuse boxes have been full of water causing the vehicle to turn on automatically, have every light illuminated, tailgate open on its own, tailgate won’t close, no turn signals, no power to infotainment center, infotainment permanently displaying back up camera while in drive mode. The tailgate has been resealed by Honda (balise Honda of west warwick) in March of 2024 and vehicle will be back there this week due to same issue. Battery needed replaced due to all the electronics misfiring and automatically turning on- car has left my family, my children stranded multiple times due to electrical issues misfiring and depleting battery.

Van started having a loud clicking sound and radio would not work. Took it in for repair, they said they fixed it. Took it in again because it actually got worse and the screen was rebooting and showing a error. Now have an appointment to take it back in again tomorrow because the fix worked for like 3 days and now it has gotten even worse. Screen keeps shutting down completely and wont boot back on for a few minutes.

Right power door will not open or close with buttons or key fob. Must open/close manually. The doors are too hard to open manually for smaller children and even some adults making it a safety concern in case of emergency. This started intermittently a year ago and is now a constant. Tailgate has been opening and closing on its own, even when locked while parked as well as when the idle stop is activated while in drive. This is a concern that someone can get in the vehicle when unattended. It also shuts (and didn't stop) when someone was standing in the opening while removing something when it occurred. This started about a month ago. I was told to take it to a dealer and pay them to diagnose it. The dealers have a wait list and it's also not in my budget. These are real concerns and I feel Honda isn't taking ownership of the dangers.

2018 Honda Odyssey motorized tailgate has completely stopped working. Will not open. Numerous accounts say this is due to water getting into the rear tailgate control module and have had tremendous amount of rain this week. Have not had it looked at by dealer yet but must be fixed. Warning message appeared twice on dash 10 minutes before the failure.

When the vehicle is at a full stop and you press the gas, there is a stall in the vehicle acceleration. I’m unsure if this is a transmission or engine issue however it has done this since the date of purchase. I have contacted a Honda dealer who stated “this is a known problem but there is no solution for it”. This is a very large safety concern as the delay can easily cause a crash. . I have to plan for plenty of space prior to turning just in as it stalls while attempting to drive.

My 2018 Honda Odyssey doesn't have any current vehicle recalls but it's is experiencing the engine stall while driving, the power sliding floors not locking properly and the power trunk making a grinding noise when it opens and closes. I had the vehicle inspected at the local Honda dealership and they told me there was nothing they could do about the vehicle stalling, the power doors not closing and the trunk grinding. From releasing the brake and pressing the gas, the vehicle will stall and then spin the tires as if I'm racing or burning rubber.

Every time when it rains, the power tail gate fails showing beeping noise from the rear and on the screen and unable to lock the doors. Had to replace the power tail module couple of times so far and still problem persists. The Honda dealership mentioned there was a leak, repaired and replaced the module , inspite of the fix priblem still persists when it rains.

I had the most recall repair a couple weeks ago, but my backup camera still cuts out and says check tuner. This does cause a temporary visibility issue when switching to mirrors.

Recently started to experience this issue. I have 41,000miles on this 2018 Honda Odyssey. It jerks & delayed acceleration/hesitation upon acceleration while driving between 20?35mph on local roads. It happens mostly with slowing down in traffic or upon stopping at stop sign & accelerating again. I am not experiencing this issue with freeway driving. I went to the dealership where I bought the car from. They asked me for $280 to just diagnose the problem, but I refuse to pay for just to diagnose. Currently, I am trying to research out my own. As the dealership has no clue about the issue. Please provide me with any related complaints & resolution for this problem.

Five years old vehicle jerked and almost came to a complete stop. Engine transmission services warning popped up as soon as the jerk happened the first time. Another warning came up as well. Jerking happens at least every mile. Car full of young kids jerked and almost came to a complete stop on the road and highway. Multiple moving vehicles were near when this occurred, which could have resulted in a terrible accident. Honda dealer said this is due to front camshaft and sensor. No engine warning regarding this problem showed up prior to this jerking. This first appeared on June 23, 2033.

On Monday, March 27th while driving at various speeds, the collision mitigation system message flashed on the instrument panel without anything provoking it/no real cause. I observed while driving the vehicle, the warning message repeatedly flashed on the screen before the entire instrument panel went blank. This includes the infotainment system restarting as well, alternatively, I was driving going between 40-60mph and the all-dashboard notification lights started flickering (lane departure warning, odometer, blind spot warning, collision mitigation system etc. ) it continues to happen randomly while driving at unpredictable times the wheel does lock up for a short time and the vehicle is temporarily not under driver control. It was able to restore, and I was able to regain control of the vehicle other times its last for several seconds. I have captured this incident on video. Additionally, there is also an issue with the vehicle hesitating while accelerating from a stop even with auto stop disengaged. On Thursday, June 1st same issue as described above occurred at 8:10am when issue occurred again the vehicle steering for a 5-8 second period was locked and not able to move. Shortly after, I began to record the vehicle. Within a 7-8 minute period I was able to capture on video it happening an additional 3 times.

I was driving the vehicle as normal and stopped at a red traffic light. I attempted to drive when the light changed to green. The car stuttered, the dashboard lights flashed and the car shut down. - multiple attempts to re-start failed. No prior warning lights etc. Car just return from dealer to address recall issues etc. Dealer made comments on brake maintenance etc which was then serviced. No mention of auto stop/start issues. - full failure: no brake, no steering, no radio, dashboard went blank. No lights. - failure of hazard lights to work. - this is a shut down in the middle of a busy street with 2 kids in the car. No hazard lights working. - mulitple near accidents from incoming traffic. No lights working??? -spoke to mechanic over the phone. He thought it was not likely the battery and I needed to get a tow truck. -tow truck not available for several hours. - mechanic was able to send someone to me. He worked on it and eventually got it to start. - immediately took it to the mechanic shop. They tested the battery, alternator, starter and connections. Stated no problem detected. - mechanic thought it could be related to the computer/auto stop/start system and suggested I get it checked at the dealership. -spoke to the dealership the following day and base on the description of events they also mention the auto stop/start system???? -this seems to be a problem they are aware of but????? the dealership recognize this problem base on the conversation???? it is thus well known???? - car left at dealership - this is extemely dangerous. The car shuts down/freezes in the middle of traffic. - no hazard lights working?????? - this is an accident/deaths waiting to happen. - why is the computer even controlling the hazard lights. That is a horrendous design error. Hazard lights should be hard wired to switch.

Nhtsa recall number:23v-858 for fuel pump but they tell me not my VIN number. I had to replace this item last January 2023 for $1500. 00 I would like my money back. I have filed with Honda to escalate my issue. Https://hondanews. Com/en-us/Honda-corporate/releases/release-a463299e9046a088b84018a75800469c-statement-by-american-Honda-regarding-fuel-pump-recall-2017-2020-Acura-and-Honda-models ac has been working off and on for the past year. Runs warm. They are recommending replacing the compressor assembly with o rings, evac and recharge with dye. $2600. 00 never had to replace a compressor with the 05 06 08 09 10's in our family.

Sunroof exploded - glass was contained by cover but I had to hold cover shut until I got to dealer - insurance inspected the damage - no warning before it happened.

Electrical issues with camera, screen & infotainment system. Terrible crackling noise coming from stereo system. Screen randomly goes black for prolonged periods of time. While in reverse and relying on camera…. All of a sudden you do not have visibility. Screen will stay off as well as the music and randomly turn back on. Car has been in shop 5 plus times for this issue and several remedies tried…. . Nothing seems to work. Whatever remedies have been tried, problem is now worse and more frequent.

My back windshield popped and shattered without anything hitting it. Driving on a smooth road at 45 mph and all of a sudden back windshield popped and shattered. Was driving with my wife and two kids. All went to a sudden sock. That was a very bad and scary experience along with the out-of-pocket expense to replace the windshield.

When the accelerator is depressed and the vehicle is in drive, it does not accelerate. This has happened multiple times, the date provided is a representative date where others witnessed the issue and is not the first or last time it occurred.

As I was driving down the interstate in my 2018 Honda Odyssey, clear of other vehicles or debris, I heard a loud bang and saw glass slide off the back of my car. I could instantly hear the air in the moonroof as if it was open. Fortunately, I had the cloth/hard cover closed so no glass got in my car or on me. For obvious reasons this is extremely dangerous and puts many people in the car and outside the car at risk. The shock of the exploding sunroof while driving on the interstate is not safe but if the cover wasn't closed, it would have covered me and my children in glass shards. One week ago, January 27, 2023, I had my a few recalls repaired on my van. One being, "safety recall campaign: replace harness clips and moon roof s/b 20-012".

Our van regularly hesitates when to accelerate from a stop. Example, when turning right on red pushing the gas pedal will provide some speed to get into the roadway, then it becomes unresponsive. Letting up and pushing the accelerator will cause the van to move again after about. 5 to 1 seconds. Often the accelerator has to be pushed all the way to the floor, which causes the van to move aggressively once it does start to respond causing the tires to spin out. While the performance issue is annoying, this becomes a safety issue when stranded out in traffic.

Unknown at random times I will push the gas pedal and the car does not engage at all to move. I will lift my foot up and down trying to engage the engine and it won’t. After a few times it will catch and the car takes off making the tires squeal, spin or jerk. It happens at random times, no warnings whatsoever that there’s a problem. It is very dangerous at intersections when turning left on green lights, when pulling out of parking lots. It’s to the point I am afraid to drive it at busy traffic times because it happens so often and I’m afraid of getting hit while my car will not move. We have told the dealership and they suggested we wait for the fuel pump recall to be readily available. I looked in forums and this seems to be a major problem for many other owners of the 2018 or newer. It started approximately two years ago and continues to happen, in fact happening more often.

I have an 2018 Odyssey touring that apparently has a problem with the auto-idle stop while driving at slow speeds, many times (2 to 6 times a day) for a few weeks now. It starts with a weird noise (like a loud record scratch) through the speakers, then engine turns off, dash and radio shuts off too and immediately everything turns on again. Car don’t go to park, it stays on drive mode. Sometimes I was able to read different messages on the dashboard or radio about “collition mitigation system” “anti theft system” and sometimes “loading” appears on the radio screen. This messages disappear quickly. Before this problems happened, the dvd rear screen stopped working (it’s completely black) while the dvd can be heard playing on the speakers. Don’t know if the two issues are related. I'm worried this can cause the car to stop at higher speeds and cause an accident, my wife usually drives this car with the kids with her. I took the car to a Honda dealership, they run diagnostic tests and it doesn't show anything. I left the car at the dealership, they will try to replicate the problem to understand what is happening.

I was backing up and the camera failed to warning me of people walking behind me or the vehicle passing.

I was driving on the freeway at 60mph and the all dashboard notification lights started flickering (lane departure warning, odometer, blind spot warning, etc) and the car went from drive to neutral. This occurred twice while I was on the freeway on 6/6/22. This has also occurred twice before.

Auto restart feature when enabled did not restart vehicle after coming to a stop at stoplight on multiple occasions in the last few months rendering vehicle unable to proceed. We recently saw news article about same issue with pilots.

The rear view camera on this car is defective. Honda and the dealership appear to be playing games with customers stating that they will get this dealt with but no eta has been forthcoming the whole of 2022.

My sunroof exploded while driving on the interstate. Nothing hit the car.

When the vehicle’s auto start-stop feature is active, the feature will malfunction causing the engine to not start properly. Instead, the vehicle stalls and must be restarted manually. However, there are many occasions when the vehicle does not start manually either. In these cases, it takes many attempts to restart the vehicle. While these events are happening, the vehicle displays an error message for the auto start-stop feature on the instrument cluster, and the instrument cluster will flicker on and off. The events often occur during the middle of an intersection and attempting to turn in front of oncoming traffic. It creates a very dangerous situation. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others because the issue occurs regularly, and the dealership has asked us to come back when the problem is occurring. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. However, there are other Honda vehicles (e. G. , Honda pilot) which have the exact same issue, and a recall has been issued for those vehicles but not the Honda Odyssey.

The infotainment screen went dark during the trip causing loss of navigation guidance, loss of safety features such as back up camera and rear cross traffic warning. It caused loss of climate control as well as every single option related to and/or activated via infotainment display (wifi hotspot, bluetooth function, navigation, etc. . ).

The component that is giving me issues is the power liftgate. As I have been driving down the road, it has unlocked and opened even at a stoplight. And would go up and down up and down until finally it runs the battery completely dead. I have taken it to Honda. They did not know what’s causing it. I am taking it now to another service dealer. To see if he can fix it. I’m in hopes that he can do something. But upon reviewing other complaints online, this has been an issue for other people. That could cause a lot of safety issues for anyone around the vehicle or driving the vehicle.

My car stopped me in the middle of the road and went into parking, next it showed transmission something on the screen. . . I turned off the ignition and turned it back on after about 15mins and I was able to drive off . . It was then I went online to check what caused it and realized there's a recall on that and I didn't get mail or an email about that.

The door panel on the left sliding door became separated from the door itself thus preventing the door from opening. The malfunction prevent egress from that door. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for repair. The dealership hated that the issue was considered cosmetic. The dealership ordered a new door panel at my personal expense. There was no prior warning that the door would malfunction and egress would be prevented.

Mirrors are diverting from adjusted position almost every time I start the car, sometimes even in middle of driving! disabling me from seeing what's wonderful.

Vehicle is not shifting at all, doesn't go right away when pedal is pressed, park, drive, reverse buttons flash on dashboard when car is on. All sensor lights come on with issues.
